In Reply to: Sophie Scholl: The Final Days. Disappointing. (Spoiler) posted by tinear on March 15, 2007 at 09:21:36:

I thought the girl was great and the interrogation and court room dialogue was taken from transcripts so it wasn't more than would be tolerated (unless you consider that she was executed, which by itself is a sign that what she was saying wasn't tolerated).

I didn't find her bloodless AT ALL. She had a deep inner strength and showed a lot of emotion below the surface in small ways. I think if one is inclined to resist the idea that her strength came from her faith and that in said faith is where she put her emotions then one might see her as bloodless.

The scene with the two men was great. It was an extension of her quiet strength and I found it very moving.

I thought it was an excellent and quietly devastating film.

Don't piss on my shoe and tell me it's raining.
